2010 Year In Review

As we reflect back on 2010 it is fun to remember the new companies we invested in during the year. We ended up making investments in 11 new companies this year – eight in our 2007 fund and three in our new fund which we announced in October.

When we look back and see when the investments were made, our timing is very lumpy. We’ve always been this way – we don’t have a particular pacing, tempo, partner allocation, or thematic allocation goal – we just all work on everything together and invest when we get really excited about something.

These investments cover a wide range of geography (Boulder, San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland) and touch on most of our themes (Protocol, Distribution, HCI, Glue, and Adhesive). We’ve got a good range of first time entrepreneurs, new relationships for us, and folks we’ve worked with in the past in the mix.

Sounds like a great year in review! I’m curious, what criteria do you rely on to tell you that the best leadership team is assembled (the “right people on the bus”)?nKristin SaladanNew Angle Consulting, LLC
